Elysian

"I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty store.

For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial’s hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid." Taken from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill In other words we get from life what we had been asking for all along.

I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." William E. Henley
